I’ve always used the physical PIN code to get in because I just instinctively don’t trust the app to load reliably; never felt so validated

- DaiPlusPlus 1y agoI've never been to a PureGym; if you guys use a PIN-pad to enter does that mean they're like those unattended 24/7 gyms? ...or if they do have an attendant there, why can't they let you in with a friendly greeting like they used to in some imagined past?
- chilmers 1y agoThey're 24/7. There are usually some staff onsite during the day, but all the entry/exit stuff is always through the automated gates.
- grishka 1y agoBoth the PIN and the app feel like terrible ideas. The gym I go to uses NFC wristbands, for the turnstiles but also for the lockers.
- rafram 1y agoThat’s also really bad. Who wants to carry a wristband around everywhere? Keychain barcode tag works fine.
- grishka 1y agoWhat do you mean everywhere? You just throw it into your gym bag.
- rafram 1y agoMany gyms let you rent lockers by the month, so you can store your gym bag there and be able to drop by without necessarily having planned on it when you left home. Can’t do that if you have to carry a wristband around to get in.
- account-5 1y agoYou can actually do this, as a fob, but you have to buy one from a vending machine in the gym. Remembering the pin is easier.
